>>They sent in the LGBTs first, maybe so they could claim ‘asylum’?
Might not those people be the most likely to be granted asylum, coming from a Spanish culture? Which just tells you how out of date my information is on that combination. Not the faintest idea if there IS any persecution for them in Central America.
Yup, you are precisely correct.
Latin culture is infused with machismo. LGBT is definitely NOT looked upon favorably there. These lesbians will ask for asylum claiming that their lives are in danger there.
